Breastfeeding a Fidgety baby
Show your support
Also following, my 8 week old started to do this about 2 weeks ago, will constantly swing her hands and legs about grunting and constantly unlatch then scream. I saw a lactation nurse and she recommended to try breastfeeding in a low lit room I have tried that but hasn’t seemed to work
This is my little one! Her name has been boobie monster because of it😂 I just hold her hands to the side and snuggle her close like she wrapped up. You can try feeding with a swaddle if that’s too much. But she is always moving and grabbing so this is what has been working.
I have been facing this as well with my 2month old. She moves around a lot and also doesn’t latch properly when she does that. She doesn’t do it during all feeds though, thankfully
Following!! Going through this now with my 3week old. He’s so fidgety and constantly swinging his hands which cause the boob to come out then he fuss at me like I did it 😭 its at least a 5min fight just to get him to latch and calm down . Even with the bottles he still swinging his hands 20 miles per hour 🤦🏽♀️😭
